tiny strip mall a new owner bought the property in this summer and that's when these veterans of the iraq in the vietnam war say that the trouble started. most of the guys who left their souls in southeast asia we see it as a slap in the face. shocked i cannot imagine anybody wanting to bring the flag down, anybody they showed us a copy of the latest letter dated june murray tent from the property manager. informing the veterans that the flags and the van in the parking lot were in violation of the lease and a the latter goes onthe veterans say the accusation is completely unfounded and not something that is grown men would do we don't break bottles and do all that kind of wild stuff we call the man named steve who refuse to give us his last name or title scoffed at claims saying that the flags will stay up but the veterans say that given everything they have been through the want to see it in writing. there are flags flying outside midway's realty offices in nearby oak brook terrace we went to their parent company the equity financial group to get concrete assurances from the company but
